MYTHOLOGY PROJECT

Due date:

Choose a Greek myth using the list that will be passed around in class. Read this myth using Edith Hamilton’s Mythology (provided in class), or you may use another source. You will be required to provide bibliographic information on the source of your myth. After reading the myth, you will create a newsletter using Microsoft Publisher. In this newsletter you will report on the myth using any of the various sections that you would find in a newspaper. You must follow the requirements listed below:

One headline news article

We will use class time to read the myth. You may have a book of myths at home that you can bring to class to read. I will help you prepare your bibliographic citation for the book that you choose. After reading the myth, you will write the headline news article and the other sections that you want to have in your newsletter. We will then go to the computer lab to prepare the newsletter.
